Exfoliation is used as a mechanism to remove bacterially infected cells from the body. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Muenzner and Hauck (2020) find that Neisseria gonorrhoeae blocks exfoliation by producing nitric oxide at the bacterial-host cell interface to promote tissue integrity. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli stimulates the same pathway, suggesting a common mechanism among bacterial pathogens.

坚持在那里！淋球菌在亲密附着过程中保持上皮完整性。

剥脱被用作从体内去除细菌感染细胞的机制。在本期《细胞宿主与微生物》中，Muenzner和Hauck（2020）发现淋病奈瑟氏球菌通过在细菌-宿主细胞界面产生一氧化氮来促进组织完整性，从而阻止脱落。致病性大肠埃希氏菌刺激相同的途径，提示细菌病原体共有机制。
